Love this work so much. Making more time for it. Feel free to share! I primarily teach guitar, but have experience teaching bass and songwriting as well. I have also helped people find and love their singing voice ✨ With coaching, I’ve been mostly working with artists and musicians, and that means a lot to me as I deeply want to serve my community in this way. That said, my training extends way beyond that, so if you are anyone interested in clarifying, creative conversations designed to move you forward towards your own fulfillment and balance, let me know. Link in bio or DM me. Offering free 15-30 min. sample sessions :) Also, I had to double dip and use this @saladjockey photo because it works so well here too! ✌🏻✨

Beginning my process of interpreting/naturalizing this portion of Debussy’s Arabesque No. 1 on the electric guitar. Hoping it will slowly but steadily merge with my own musical voice over time (I plan on letting it just become a warm-up or a healthier place of procrastination 😎). I learned it based on a version (also in the key of D btw 🤓) from a great go-to record of mine of Debussy interpretations on guitar by Anders Miolin. Trés gorgine. I didn’t grow up with any classical music training or even listening for that matter, but I did grow up pretty deep into electric blues guitar playing, and the parallels are interesting to me. To my ear and heart - as a player - both art forms find their transcendence in the presence and specificity of voice (tone included) and phrasing. It’s a beautiful challenge - though in this case, it definitely led to perfectionism for me in the “recording process.” It can be daunting to know that every note and certainly every phrase deserves such clarity of intention. I’m not entirely surprised that this happened 😂 but I DO wish, in retrospect, that I respected (myself)/the fact that I just began my process of internalization, and patience and imperfection would have been deserved and appropriate gifts. Anyway, I’m trying to share more of my various creative and craft-oriented observations from playing, writing, teaching, and coaching, here in 2024. Please share any thoughts of your own! I like to converse ☺️ Hope you enjoy. Cheers! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ #debussy #electricguitar #arabesque #learningguitar #perfectionism #winterscenesweatshirt?

Puddle Work in Midtown Before/After Physical Therapy (left knee). Kentmere Pan 400 film. Rollei 35. #blackandwhite #35mm

Work in progress. Something I’ve been coming back to for some time. Also feel like I sacrificed a little musicality (phrasing, etc.) for the sake of repeating the technique, which I don’t think I can fully endorse. #practicing #the #guitar

Had such a fulfilling experience offering some free life and/or music coaching last weekend tbh. I’m going to keep it going. 2-4 Sunday. Let me know if you’d like to reserve your spot. First come first serve ✨ ———— Photos from the early fall in the Berkshires. Such a season rooted in change and transition. It is wild how fast it goes every year. It manages to always be a bit of a surprise. All the leaves are long gone up there at this point, I assume 🍁 ——- The photos I just got back were taken with Harman Phoenix 200 film, which I had never used before. I immediately was taken by its high contrast and intensely saturated tendencies. Exciting to use a film for the first time that really brings something to the table! Also, almost all my photos were underexposed, which I may adjust for if I use the film again (I think it was on sale…), but I’m realizing with film at least, I generally prefer underexposed photos to overexposed ones. I think. We’ll see 📷 Cheers.

Felt like underlining this @mjlenderman lyric. It’s been the only thing I’ve been singing for a week. Been really enjoying the new record too - bopping around the city to it. Hope everyone is doing alright/hanging in there. You gotta love a lyric that serves a specific song/narrative but speaks to the worlds outside of it in profound ways at the same time: It falls apart//we all got work to do It gets dark//we all got work to do ❤️

Offering free life coaching and/or music lessons this Sunday from 2-4 pm. First come first serve. DM me. We can talk and/or explore anything you like. Slideshow of photos from the summer with an ambient loop I’ve been playing and listening to for the last few days. Like so many of you, I’ve found a lot of solace and strength in my community over the last few days. Feel free to reach out. Take care, Dan

Practicing guitar may be the only thing in my life that can feel like procrastination, productivity, and self-care all at the same time. Highly recommend the habit or something like it. Good luck out there with your nervous systems.
